You seem to be arguing that the previous wakeup IRQ should be cleared
before invoking PM notifiers.  However, it is only set in
pm_system_irq_wakeup() which is only called after
suspend_device_irqs(), so clearing it anywhere before calling that
function in the given cycle should be sufficient.

This doesn't make sense.

The comment above is too hard to understand for me, sorry.
